It's always something.....so my battery charger went this weekend while
plugged in visiting a marina. House bank tanked, then the reefer
wouldn't start, etc.
The boat had a 30 amp ProMariner I think was original ?
My battery set-up is a house bank of (4) group 27's in parallel on #1
setting, and a group 24 starting battery on #2. All wet cells.
I am clueless about electrical, and still working on the temperature
gage thing posted earlier.....
The yard manager (at Haven Harbor) recommended a Xantrex True Charge 40,
but they didn't have one, so I haven't done anything yet.
Any input is appreciated on the following:
How do you size a charger, based on batteries ? (30 amp, 40 amp, etc.)
Anyone recommend for or against Xantrex or other brands ?
Will my house bank recover ? (I had like 11.6 amps when I realized the
problem in the morning)
